Before there was Micro-Four-Thirds, there was the Four-Thirds semi-open system with Olympus and Kodak as originating members.

The camera that started things off was the Olympus E-1, if I'm not mistaken. What I'm certain of is the superb camera that it is to this day.

The colors and image character this camera captures are simply beautiful. Working with the files in post (should they need it at all) is a dream. Ignore the number of megapixels a camera has. Pay attention to the quality of those megapixels, their willingness to produce compelling images.

As the fall colors began in earnest here, I thought of the E-1 and what it captured in the past for me. Remembering that I put aside the X-E1 and the micro-four-thirds cameras, and got the E-1 ready for some serious fun. Here are some results so far.
